We received this email from a Notes+ user:

We intentionally blocked Evernote on Gecko 18 devices (FxOS 1.0 & 1.1) in bug 986726 because we believe it is using APIs not available in that Gecko version. I am not able to successfully sync on a 1.1 device but in the interest of trying to get users up & running again, it is relatively harmless to re-enable Evernote for all devices on the Notes+ app.

Note that we will not relax the Gecko version check on the Notes app, which has a much larger installed user base and we only exposed the Evernote integration there in early May, so there are no 1.0/1.1 Notes users who have the integration set up.
